The very best of Berlin techno comes to VENT! Celebrate 10 years of Dystopian with at showcase featuring label head Rødhåd!

We are excited to bring you the 10th anniversary party of Dystopian, the label, club event, and artist platform operated by Rødhåd, one of the modern techno scene’s top DJs! This showcase event, to be held in Tokyo, is set to feature Rødhåd, Jon Hester, and Don Williams, on November 2nd, at Omotesando VENT!

Rødhåd kicked off his career in the late 90s, quickly gaining recognition throughout Germany for his precise mixing techniques, distinctive style for mixing dub techno with percusive grooves. In 2009, he launched he own resident party, Dystopian. In 2010, he began playing regularly at the famed Berlin club, Berghain, and also started touring around Europe. His works have been lauded by the likes of many a top DJ, including but not limited to Jeff Mills, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Laurent Garnier, and Sven Väth, and he was even selected the Resident Advisor “Breakthrough artist of the year” for 2012.

Hailing from the Midwest, DJ/producer Jon Hester currently calls Berlin home. He came up from being part of the audience on the dance floor to DJing, working at record shops, organizing events, and then holding his own resident party – with his own music evolving along every step of the way. Mixing body-moving rhythms with adventurously programmed tracks, a the while blending techno and house is his trademark.

Don Williams can be considered one of the most disruptive forces within the current Berlin techno scene. Born in eastern Germany, he was baptized by techno in the mid-90s as a youth, and went from record collector to producer, and then co-founder of the Tokomak print. In 2005, he set up his own Mojuba label, focusing on high-quality deep house releases. In 2008, he established the Mojuba label night at Panorama Bar.

Dystopian has been hard at work for the last 10 years distributing superb artists’ work familiar to us. It’s truly one of the best in the industry. It’s an anniversary worth celebrating, so we invite you to join us for a spectacular showcase with some of the hottest artists from Berlin. If you’re a true techno lover, you wouldn’t dare miss this night!
